Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When you receive the nine treasures of the True Name,
your children do not weep, and your mother does not grieve.
This one shows that letting go makes you a steadier love, not a missing one.
It guards against a wrong idea about letting go. Rovai poot na kalpai maa-ee — the children do not cry, and the mother does not grieve. A person rooted in the Name does not leave the people they love behind.
The Name is called nav niDh, the nine treasures, a way of saying every kind of richness. Think of a lighthouse. It stays in one place, steady, so boats can find their way home. When you let go of the grip, you become more present, not less. Inner letting-go serves the household. It never deserts it.
How might worrying less about someone actually let you love them better?
